The Color Rainbow of Mox Diamond is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by MrDiamond with an iron fist, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, deadly medical pandemics, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 35.32 billion Mox Diamondians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of DiamondCity. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 76.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Mox Diamondian economy, worth a remarkable 4,432 trillion manas a year, is quite specialized and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Retail, Soda Sales, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 125,508 manas, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 381,658 per year while the poor average 32,053, a ratio of 11.9 to 1.

Trade policy consists of ganging up on the new guy, a citizen who thinks a slave is a deadbeat is entitled to make the descriptor literally true, a suspicious number of male students have joined the Ladies' Wrestling League, and the nation's entire cultural heritage is being auctioned off to the rich. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mox Diamond's national animal is the manabird, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Atheism.

Mox Diamond is ranked 58,938th in the world and 76th in Nederland for Lowest Crime Rates, with 72 law-abiding acts per hour.
